Let the records show that Borussia Dortmund were first established in the year of 1909. These footballing stalwarts are welcomed by the familiar confines of Signal Iduna Park on their home turf in Germany, a sight to bring joy to any of the faithful supporters.
Any football connoisseur perusing the books of Transfermarkt will note a rather appealing figure: the combined market value of the Borussia Dortmund squad is in the ballpark of £401m. Quite the funds should the club administration ever fancy a change in personnel, wouldn't you say?
Shall we delve into the particulars of the current playing squad? Dortmund boasts a squad of 20 champing-at-the-bit individuals, sporting an average age of 27. Youth and experience blended in a harmonious brew, one might comment.
In the ongoing season, this plucky side have thrown their hats in the ring across three diverse competitions. Earning a commendable second place in the Bundesliga, they have also fought their way to the third round of the DFB-Pokal. Besides, they remain in contention for the revered Champions League trophy, having reached the knockout play-offs. A busy schedule indeed, but one that must surely set the hearts of Dortmund fans aflame.
